Work with us

Talking Therapy North is a small private practice offering both in-person and online clinical psychology and psychotherapy. Dr Steve Hoole is a clinical psychologist who works from a psychodynamic model using ISTDP (Interpersonal Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy). He has more than 10 years clinical experience in both the NHS and private mental health. Katy Hoole is an integrative psychotherapist working primarily using EFIT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy). We are now looking for an associate counsellor to join our team in order to expand the support we are able to offer clients. Our clients present with a wide variety of needs including anxiety, depression, early life trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem and bereavement. We are passionate about delivering a high-quality and clinically rigorous service, and the safety of our clients and practitioners is at the heart of what we do. We operate a thorough triage screening where we assess for risk and appropriateness of clients for therapy, and take care to make sure the therapy offered to each client is the most suitable for them. We use a digital system for appointments, invoicing and notes which you will be required to use.  
 

Associate Counsellor 

We are looking for a qualified counsellor, with a minimum Level 4 diploma who has some post-qualification experience. We are happy to receive applications from counsellors from a person-centred, integrative or other similar model of training. This role would be ideally suited to a newly qualified counsellor looking to build their hours towards accreditation, but we welcome applications from all. At this time, we are not able to offer an opportunity to CBT practitioners.

• To be able to offer primarily in-person sessions from our clinic in Rochdale, and also online sessions when clients require this.

Fees 

• The fee per session is £30 which will be paid on a monthly basis, once invoiced.  
   

Where you will work

• Depending on the time you offer sessions, you may be working alone in the premises. 

• We have room availability Monday to Wednesday from 3pm-9pm, and all day Thursday-Sunday.
